2022 Follow-up Survey
222-6352
Baseline Voter Survey Objectives
• Determine whether there is a continued perception that
additional funds are needed for the County’s
transportation system, including freeways, highways, local
streets and public transit.
• Gauge if there continues to be support for potentially
extending Measure C and for how long voters would like to
see it extended.
• Identify Fresno County residents’ transportation funding
priorities.
The results will be used as another important data point in
the conversation about the future of transportation funding
priorities throughout Fresno County’s diverse communities.

transportation system is in need of additional funds, with a
majority indicating that need is great.

consistently high regardless of the length of the period of
the measure.

priorities.
